Genes affected

ABCA4 (HGNC:34): (ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 4) The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intracellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the ABC1 subfamily. Members of the ABC1 subfamily comprise the only major ABC subfamily found exclusively in multicellular eukaryotes. This protein is a retina-specific ABC transporter with N-retinylidene-PE as a substrate. It is expressed exclusively in retina photoreceptor cells, and the gene product mediates transport of an essental molecule, all-trans-retinal aldehyde (atRAL), across the photoreceptor cell membrane. Mutations in this gene are found in patients diagnosed with Stargardt disease, a form of juvenile-onset macular degeneration. Mutations in this gene are also associated with retinitis pigmentosa-19, cone-rod dystrophy type 3, early-onset severe retinal dystrophy, fundus flavimaculatus, and macular degeneration age-related 2.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Sep 03, 2015	The c.4773+3 A>G splice site variant in the ABCA4 gene has been previously reported in association with Stargardt disease (Duno et al., 2012; Jonsson et al., 2013; Braun et al., 2013). This variant is predicted to destroy the canonical splice donor site in intron 33. It is predicted to cause abnormal gene splicing, either leading to an abnormal message that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, or to an abnormal protein product if the message is used for protein translation. The c.4773+3 A>G variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jan 05, 2024	This sequence change falls in intron 33 of the ABCA4 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the ABCA4 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs759672616, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of ABCA4-related conditions (PMID: 23443024, 23918662, 29555955, 30718709). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 236122). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant alters mRNA splicing and is expected to lead to the loss of protein expression (PMID: 28118664, 29162642). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
